We believe that every smile is beautiful and that every patient should be able to maximize their smile potential, creating a grin that they feel eager to show off. Whether you have a minor imperfection to correct or are hoping to design your ideal smile, dental veneers can help you achieve the look you desire.

What Are Dental Veneers?

One of the most popular cosmetic dentistry treatments, dental veneers are tooth-shaped, wafer-thin shells that are designed to fit over the front surfaces of the teeth. A permanent treatment, dental veneers are most often made of highly durable dental-grade porcelain. The porcelain is dyed an attractive shade of pearly white and has a similar luminosity compared to tooth enamel, making veneers look highly natural.

What Can Dental Veneers Do? The Transformative Power of Dental Veneers

Dental veneers cover the visible portions of the teeth, enabling patients to mask individual imperfections or completely makeover their smiles with a whole new look.

Dental veneers are commonly used to:

• Hide permanently stained or discolored teeth
• Give the smile a bright, white, even appearance
• Correct the appearance of an irregularly sized or shaped tooth
• Cover irregular tooth gaps
• Hide silver, amalgam dental fillings
• Cover up minor chips
• Create the look of perfectly straight teeth
• Improve smile symmetry
• Enhance the patient's overall balance of facial features

Dental veneers can be applied individually to address minor, individual concerns, or they can be applied in a whole set to create a completely new look.

The Benefits of Dental Veneers

Dental veneers provide patients with a variety of benefits. The most notable is improved confidence and self-love with the ability to enhance your features and improve the appearance of your smile. Dental veneers can also improve a person's first impressions in addition to helping them achieve a more attractive and professional look, which can be especially important in certain public-facing industries.

What to Expect: The Dental Veneer Treatment Process

Dental veneers are completely custom-designed and custom-manufactured for each patient to ensure a perfect fit and completely unique and natural-looking results.

The treatment process begins with a consultation, tooth preparation, three-dimensional digital dental impressions, and creating your custom look. Tooth preparation involves removing a thin layer of tooth enamel from the surfaces of the teeth. This ensures your dental veneers will be able to fit comfortably and look natural resting on your teeth.

Once the teeth have been prepared, we use an intraoral scanner to collect digital impressions. These impressions are uploaded into high-powered design software where we work with you to create your ideal look. These designs are then sent to a dental laboratory where your veneers are manufactured.

Once the veneers are ready, we place them on the teeth, using strong dental cement to secure them to the teeth. We can then make any final adjustments before treatment is complete.
